428. Misbranding of Young's Preparation.     U. S. v. Oscar Lee Brunson.     Plea of
guilty.     Defendant placed on probation for 3 years.     (F. D. C. No.  2931.
Sample Nos. 53T-E, 20701-E.)
This product would be dangerous to health when used in the dosage or with
the frequency or duration prescribed, recommended, or suggested in the labeling,
in which it was recommended for the relief of itching skin and scalp and which
contained directions that it should be well shaken and applied to afflicted parts
two or three times a day; that if the parts were raw, it should be diluted
with water until it could be used full strength and that it was natural for the
drug to sting when first applied.
On March 11, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of
Georgia filed an information against Oscar Lee Brunson of Waycross, Ga.,
alleging shipment on or about March 4 and May 31, 1940, from the State of
Georgia into the State of Florida, of quantities of Young's Preparation which
was misbranded for the reasons appearing above.
The article was also alleged to be misbranded in violation of the Federal
Caustic Poison Act, as reported in Notice of Judgment No. 105 published under
that act.
On June 16, 1941, a plea of guilty having been entered, the defendant was
placed on probation for 3 years.
